I have never used Video Recording that much in the past. But when I try to video record in full HD, its drags in the video and in the sound. I am currently using ThiaizO3D v2.6.1 Prada on the phone. Seems to be the fastest rom thus far regarding the user interface. I'm not sure if it might be my memory card being to slow, or the connection speed between the memory card and the phone. My guess is that it can't store fast enough to the memory card, which is just weird.
It must be something wrong with my phone as everyone with a custom rom can't be facing this issue.

Most ppl have problems with full hd recording.
I have never tried any ROMS other than stock. Here is a video I uploaded yesterday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_PA...DvjVQa1PpcFNKYqrD6lQvA41K63hRFbV-VRZR4tRiMtU= in FULL HD. Shot with my Optimus 3D.
Stringer2u, Its the first time I actually used the video recorder on my phone, as i never actually test with stock rom. As the custom rom's made my phone as fast as my brothers Iphone 4s, I decided to keep it. Custom roms seem to run much faster, but this downfall of the video camera struggling to keep up is not good. It might also have to do with the fact that i was video recording a live dancing show with very fast movements and loud sound. It shouldn't affect it tho.
Thanks for the video up;pad. Watching it at the moment. Might consider downgrading back to stock rom. ThiaizO3D rom's have really grown on me tho.

Could you record continuous video of full hd for about 2 minutes. Your video is from chopped bits. Stuttering starts about 30 seconds to 1 minute of continuous recording, not 5 seconds bits.
Figured out some interesting things.
If you select to store to device instead of memory card, seems to work perfectly. Not sure why, but it seems much better. Going to run full tests tomorrow to ensure that it is 100% working. Will make me super happy. Just that there is limited space available on the phone memory.

I used to have that problem to i used to have a class 4 16gb card it used to lagg like a biatch and then when i switched to internal it works perfect.. Anyway i invested in a 32GB class ten Lexar card and it is blazing fast 18.8MB write speed and 20MB read speed so now when i take Full 1080p videos they don't become choppy it is amazing and smooth as hell..
I have a-data 16gb c10 card. Video lags, on internal memory even more.
Rushdroid with titan kernel 3,1 @ 1,4 GHz
I have a 32gb class10 Samsung card. 3d 720p recording lags using internal or external SD. I'm on stock v21e. Rooting and overclocking the device didn't make a difference. Using SD booster increased the write speed (in the numbers) but had no real effect on video recording. I don't know if applying the "V6 Supercharger" script by zeppelinrox will have any positive effect.
I wonder, is there a way to decrease the bitrate of captured video (even if that means lowering the framerate to 24)?

30b recording is smooth as hell
defcomg, thank you! Your contribution to this community is highly notable! Tell me please, have you tried shooting in 720p 3D continuously for more than a couple of minutes and still got no lag? I'm waiting for xbsall's modified ROM to install.

...is SLOWER than my 2 Years old Dell Axim!
I've been running my Update for CorePlayer to V1.2.2 without any problems. But - i've running the YouTube Function, connecting over WLAN 54 MBits to the YouTube Empire...
There i'll be searching for some videos, thinking that anything has chanced with this new version - tapped on a video - waiting - watching about five seconds - and? NOTHING! Its like before, laggy, struggleing and unwatchable...
why this damn devices is not optimized? why is this expensive thing hardware not able to do, what a two or three year old pocket pc is running without any problems? why we must hack this device to get a piece of performance?
This device is the best, the nicest and the fully featured piece of hardware that i've ever had. i've been a pda junkie since the beginning of this with the crappy WIN CE2.1.
Since Win CE is mutch time gone and the devices gone faster and faster. The good old casio em500 running a 150 MHz MIPS CPU was fast - the well known iPAQ3660 was faster and much better in playing videos or something. Every change of hardware was a change that was useful. After that a MDA2 with a 400 MHz x-scale cpu was mine and it was faster than everything before. MDA Compact was faster, The Dell AXIM Series was fast like a rocket - but then XDA Orbit brakes me like a train crashing in a wall of steel. I thought i've been running this device with a handbrake or something.
The Orbit 2 is a little bit faster - but if there is no video driver the videos are laggy - and that is what i don't understand. Why HTC?!
1. The youtube function is still new to the CorePlayer (I mean the direct youtube support whith available configuration)
2. The lag is mostly because of a small buffer and/or a crappy net connection
3. Unless CorePlayer doesn't suck whith normal (320x240 24~25 FPS) videos, don't complain.
Yes, we know that the drivers are missing, that's nothing new. If you wan't to know the cause check my signature. We heard enough people complaining, and most of us tried to do something instead of (in this case very detailed) whining.
If you knew what to expect, then don't complain, it you didn't... maybe next time you'll check forums/reviews/youtube for more info before buying.

We feel your pain buddy...
Or should I say, we felt your pain. We've got past that stage already, and have kind of accepted this crappy fact of life - that we've been bent over with a smile. I personally chose this device because there is nothing else to choose from!
On the other hand, HTC makes me really want to get an iPhone, even with its lack of any modern features - it is a device that just works (well, after you've jail-broke it).

I wonder why your facing this problem?!?! CorePlayer 1.2.2 gives smooth flawless video, I've tested in on every video format commonly used.
Have you installed it on your Storage card or Device memory?
Just out of curiosity, will it make any difference?
I have it installed on the device itself, will it get a boost if i install it on the memory card?

Yes, the app performs faster if installed on the Device memory, hence the improved video speeds.

That was a kinda unclear response, i asked if i'll get a boost if i'll get a boost if i install on the MicroSD Memory card, and you reply with yes, you will get a boost from the Device Memory.
But i'm guessing i've done the right thing (installing it on the Built In memory)
Better to install on the device memory. As a rule of thumb install apps on device memory, especially if you have performance or incompatibility issues.
As for Coreplayer, I am using 1.2 with QTv. While it is a lot better with QTv and benchmark numbers are great, it's still not that fluid. When panning in scenes or fast motion, it's still not very smooth. When I check properties I might have 1 dropped frame out of several thousand so I know it's not dropped frames. I have encoded my movie (source is my DVD) at 320x240. It's at 24 fps. I can always try encoding at 30fps and see if that fixes it. But I don't believe fps to be the issue since playing the 24fps movie on my computer is smooth. Any ideas?
I have Core Player and love it's steaming capabilities. Doesn't skip and has plenty of feature to customize. The problem I'm running into is playing videos from my SD card. I have two TV show episodes loaded onto my microSD, 640x480. For some reason, Core Player skips a frame or two, sometimes, and freezes/lags for a solid 5-7 seconds other times.
I'm wondering if there are any fixes for this? What settings work best for the Core Player for the smoothest possible feedback?
Unfortunately...
This is not the answer that you want to hear (and I hope someone can prove me wrong) but you will probably will have to reencode those videos to a more CorePlayer friendly format if you want to use CorePlayer on your Raphael to play those files.
CorePlayer doesn't play nicely with H264 files yet on our Qualcomm chips. You can reencode to something like divx/xvid or wait until CorePlayer 2.0 to release sometime in 2009. They claim better hardware support will come with that version. Or you can reencode for WMP. Yeah, I know, kind of a bummer. =/
More info can be found on xda and fuzemobility. I think there is an xda thread started by k9tim regarding this issue if you want to read up on it.
One thing that helped for non H264 files was to increase the buffer size tenfold and decrease video quality to Medium or Low for better framerates. Didn't help me for H264 files but it did help me with some mpegs. I hope someone can prove me wrong.

I watch movies and tv shows in xvid and divx with 1.25, default settings, high quality, with absolutey no slow downs at all. What exactly are you trying to play?

Well, you're right - It's certainly not good news. But the bold'd part made it that much better, so it evens out
As far as the info goes, I really appreciate it. It's really no problem for me to leave my computer on overnight with a whole queue of files to re-encode. It'd suck if I was trying to get other things done too, but a fan on high and a few solid hours overnight should (hopefully) take care of these issues. Thanks again.

You, or anyone else who reads this and has zero issues with playback, wouldn't happen to have drivers from this post installed, would you?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2892184&postcount=357
I'm wondering if that's the issue - different drivers on different phones. I have a stock ROM Alltel HTC Touch Pro, with no real desire to upgrade/flash/change the PRL. I ***LOVE*** it the way it is and probably won't be getting a different phone for 3-4 years. 99.8% perfect in my book (with potential factored in, too)
I have a stock Fuze and can get good playback.
Again it all depends on the source files your trying to play. Some of my trilinear and high quality audio encoded files chop / lag every 60th frame or so but at high quality its worth it. Medium quality it does not slow down too much. Most play smoothly till high action in which case they will slow a little.
Increasing the buffer and playing with the method of drawing can increase your quality. If I was not half asleep and my phone in the other room (wife asleep) I would check my settings. If I remember I will post them in the morning. Most of them have not been changed though.

I have those drivers installed AND playback issues. But you should install them anyway.
I'm working out some methods of encoding at the moment and will get back to you. I tried to fight the transcoding, but am starting to give in. The device just doesn't have a lot of headroom as far as playing videos, with currently available players.
Any other thoughts on this or are we all just waiting on the next Core Player update?
Did installing the drivers help you at all?
Anyone else get the Can't Record a Video problem, set to 1280x720 and it works sometimes, but after the phones been on a while, it refuses to start recording...
If I restart the phone works fine..
Should I just get a class 10 memory card? think it is the speed? This is the 2nd Charge I have had with this problem.
I can't record 720p either, it says my memory card doesn't support it. Kinda BS that the card they include isn't fast enough to record at the advertised resolution.
Well that's whats weird.. It works like 50% of the time, but never seems to work when I need it. I wonder if just updating the filesystem to ext4 would help in this manner. I'm running completely stock at the moment, I'm headed out of town next week, and really need to make sure that it works.
When I get back I'll flash a debloated ee4, with lagfix enabled.. and will see if that helps at all.
1280*720
I recorded a few minutes at 1280*720 several times and found no issues, it actually looked pretty damn good.
Hi.
Got a Desire S, but very disappointed about the framerate of the recorded videos.
The frame rate is about 11fps in indoors and 22fps outdoors.
Is there any way to get a constant 30fps, 24 atleast?

i would like to ask the same question?
anyone?
When I first tried the camcorder app on my DS I found the video seemed to be rather jerky, as opposed to just low frame rate.
I noticed that the 8GB SD card that was included with my package was a fairly slow one (class 2).
Now I've changed it for a 32GB Class 4 card, I'm sure that the video seems smoother. Perhaps it's my imagination. Results may vary etc ;-)
- Steve
Its not a software issue.. its the camera module which is a poor one! HTC used the same module which they had in desire ... Other hardware like gpu and CPU are capabale of handling 30fps but the camera module can't!

I would agree with fasty regarding the sd card class issue. The one with the phone is only class two, and therefore only 2mb/sec write speed. I have a class six. Seems smooth enough to me, however I admit I have no idea of the fps. What app are you using to determine this?
Another contributing factor could be the sd card cache size on most roms. The stock rom had something daft like 128k. You can use an app called Sd-booster (root required) and bump it up to 2048k which also helps with read/write speeds.
Let me know of your fps app, and I'll let you know what I'm getting. If its still the same with a custom rom, kernel, class 6 card and decent sd card cache then it does point towards a pony camera module.
And all digital cameras performance will suffer as light levels drop. Don't think anything can be done about that.
Thanks for the reply man..
Im using the windows property bar at the bottom of the folder in windows 7 to determine the fps.
Bought a Transcend 8gb class 10 card today, but theres no improvement in the fps at all.
All I can do now it to root the phone and try the sd-booster. I've also got this app called Screencast & recorder, says that it give smoother fps but root required :\
Will check the results and get back to you, thanks again
Has anyone seen anything that can take more super slo-mo for longer than .2 seconds? I've got some good vids done, but would like at least a second of SSM. I have the room on my sd card, and internal mem, besides its only 720p.

Nope the .2 seconds is a hardware limitation. No way around it.

You might have to resort to using the regular Slow-mo. That mode needs to be made visible from camera settings' mode options.
I didn't know it was a hardware limitation, thats interesting. Still very cool that it can pull it off though.
There are some after-the-fact tricks you can do to squeeze some more out of the footage though. If you get the video into an external editor (premier or whatever you use) you can slow it down slightly more. I dont know what frame rate it plays the slow motion back at, I would guess 30. If its 60 it will be even noticeably slower. You can lower this down to 24/25 frames per second. Most feature films and television programs are filmed at this frame rate, and Gavin Free (SlowMoGuys on YouTube) renders his videos at this frame rate to make them even slower
